I found that movie depressing as a kid so I've never seen it as an adult. But Love, Actually, Elf and The Grinch Who Stole Christmas (original, not Jim Carrey version) are my holiday go-tos.

Exactly! Who watches SNL live anymore? You need to DVR that shit so you can fast forward through the boring/terrible sketches.

Exactly!

It would be awful! I could have been a really great singer - I say this in all modesty because I was pretty good and I never practiced and I also have horrible stage fright. But if I'd been famous? Oh god. I'd be a crotchety recluse living on some estate with high walls and shit.

Our Patron Saint!

That's some District 11 level shit right there.

Maybe Jessica likes to curl up on the couch in a Snuggie and eat her night cheese rather than schmooze. It's a valid lifestyle choice!

I KNOW. And my parents are all "we have kramp-ons (those salt-pick things), it's totally cool". But they have 2 sets. And we're a family of 4. So not everyone gets kramp-ons, Mom. Not everyone gets to be secure!

I don't think we have that in Canada? But we got AppleTV so we can rent on iTunes. It's probably on there.

You don't have to live in Alaska to hate slipping on ice. I live in Toronto. We were originally supposed to go out to the movies tomorrow as a family thing but I am pushing for staying in and watching a Blu-ray because WE JUST HAD AN ICE STORM. I have horrible balance and co-ordination and I take at least one hard…

I love how all the penguins do a quick shuffle away. "I'm good. I'm good. No one saw that. Just walk it off, Pete. Walk it off."

I've never seen it either. I think it would be too disturbing because you're basically watching how he died just not the actual shot of him dying. I really feel for the actor who shot him because he was just doing his job. That would be horrific to deal with.

Dammit, I need the Jason Stackhouse companion gif where he gives himself a thumbs up.

Yes, I remember watching a Movie Television special about The Crow and how they pulled it off. Of course, the worst part about that was that Brandon Lee died on set and that his death was filmed.

I remember that! It was like a graveyard at work. Most departments were half-staffed in the middle of summer. I was paranoid I was going to get it as I had already used up my sick days for the year. Thankfully I didn't.

I know that you, Laura Beck, are awesomesauce and we will miss you and love you and do you really have to go? Do you really want to hurt me? Do you really want to say good bye?

Really? This is what I get for not checking the author's updates recently. Ah well.

Samsies! I also have those little Game of Thrones figures, and Hunger Games and Harry Potter replica props and costumes and shirts and glasses and mugs. Shit, I have a light up True Blood bar sign and True Blood bottle Christmas lights! I fucking love merchandise.

I agree, somewhat. I think Allegiant was the strongest book of the 3 and Mockingjay was the weakest. I think Suzanne Collins was too married to her 3 act, 21 chapter structure and she should have loosened it up a bit so Mockingjay had a more complete ending. Catching Fire is my favourite book because it combines…

The ending redeemed the whole series for me.
